The Last Ship: In the Dark (2016)
Season 3, Episode 7
8/10
Takehaya's time
6 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Michener keeps having problems with the press. The Nathan James is being followed by Peng's last four ships. Takehaya to the rescue.

With so much that has going on, we have some bonding between 'enemies' in this episode. Peng's ships seem to be everywhere, and the Nathan James' people are having problems deciding what course to choose. Cue Takehaya saving the day.

Again, Sanada's time to shine, out-acting everyone else with a little look, movement of eyebrows and his cherished silences. Luckily for the viewer, Eric Dane's does a great job in keeping the level high, and with Baldwin in the mix we have some really good acting for this kind of show.

And the plot helps. All the ship hunting, four vessels trying to pinpoint the Nathan James is a little bit ludicrous sometimes, but it keeps the tension really high. Moments of tension follow moments of respite that will make the next moment of tension feel more and more intense, grabbing the viewer's attention. Direction, acting and pace help to make "In the Dark" the, probably, best episode of the show so far.
